St. Landry democrat., 1887-11-26

The following extract taken from the
Acadia Sentinel, gives the true basis of
Gov. McEnery's so-called popularity in
this State:
There is something sad and touching
in the demeanor of some of the older
men who are found supporting the ring.
Recently we %conversed with the editor
OF a well known newspaper which sup
ports the State administration, and our
subject was politics. He was an old
soldier of the Confederacy, and seemed
we'll. He had got to support the ring,
or lose his head. With averted
head he urged the usual weak objec-
tions to Nichols and finally, looking
quite s%heepish, said, II object to Mich
oils. because many Republicans seem to
favor him." We said Colonel, you
know Nichols as one of the truest SOL
diers of the Confederacy, as one of the
pnrest Democrats, and IA loyal lover of
his race and State ; and do you mean to
say to me that you fear to trust again
our State to his care ?" He looked US
square in the eyes and said, mo; by
Heaven, I'd trust him further than any
man in Louisiana, but | can't support
him my living is at stake, and [ am
too old now to risk losing it. And so it
goes ; the immense power of the ring
controls many a weak but well mean
ing man who feels like a criminal in de
nying his support to the good soldier,
true patriot and honest Democrat, T.
It, Nichols.

rhe Islands of the Paeltlc.

In addition to the two large islands recently discovered in the Pacific ocean, a third has just been discovered lying less than 100 miles from the northern coast of New Guinea. It has been named Allison Island, is nearly three miles long, rises about 100 feet to 150 feet above the sea, and has abundant timber. Several stretches of fertile and inhabited land, some of them much larger than Allison Island, have been found within 8 few years at distance of 200 or 300 miles from the New Guinea coast, and similar discoveries are made once in a while in various parts of the Pacific. Although the maps of the Pacific ocean are studded with islands which appear to be lying close together, vessels may sail among these islands for weeks together without once comiTg in sight of land. So vast ie the waste bf waters, that not long ago a crew which had been shipwrecked in the great island region of the Pacific rowed north forty days before they reached Hawaii, the nearest land.
 MT. A. R. Wallace, who has travelled widely in the Pacific, has expressed the opinion that there are still good many islands which have never yet been seen by white men. Now and then Pacific trader finds some new or little known island, and opens trade with it's inhabi- tants. When the Woodlark islands were explored some time ago, it was found that an Australian firm had carefully charted the islands several years before, and had been quietly trading there, all unknown to the other Pacific merchants. 1 Scientific American.

Spelling the Rhine.s Scenery.

On the Rhine vandalism takes the shape of extensive quarries which threaten to make the famous Siebengebirge, the most picturesque and romantic spot along the banks of the Rhine, into a shapeless mass Not that this is the first raid which has been made on the wild beauty of the Seven Mountains. Who, of all the millions which have of recent years seen the Drachenfels from one of the Saloon boote which ply the river during summer, has not turned away in disgust from the lordly castle in glaring red brick which proudly-or impertinently rather-looks down from the wooded heights where once terrible dragon lay in wait for human prey deep in the oak forest in a cave which is still shown as the haunt of the Wurm? As the center and one of prettyLandguter on the Rhine, the castle, with its eventless turrets and gables, would be justly admired; on the rugged heights round which countless old legends are dwelling, it is a real eyesore. No wonder then that petition after petition is brought before the German chamber of deputies, and that all Germany is rising up in arms against the desecration of one of it's most interesting monuments of romantic past.-Pan Mall Gazette.

School Lands in the Territories.

A Washington dispatch says, in the case of Thomas E, Watson, of Washington territory, in which is involved the ques- tion of the rights of settlers upon school lands in the Territories. Assistant Secre- tary Muldrow has decided that under the acts granting to the Territories lands for school purposes, where the land at the date of survey is occupied by an actual settler, his right to the land is superior to the right of the Territory; and that where school lands, at the date of survey, are occupied by an actual settler, the Territory is entitled to select equivalent lands in lieu thereof as indemnity; and having made such selection the indem- nifty land so selected is held in reserva- ton in lieu of the school section upon which such selection was made; and the school section, by the act of such selec- tion, is released from reservation, and therefore an entry of a school section made while the section of equivalent land remained intact was valid.

Literary Notes.

The American Magazine will hereafter be published under the management of the American Magazine Company: cor poration abundantly equipped in finances and business experience. Readers are promised continuous improvement of the magazine in all its departments, in- cluding several new and attractive feat ures.
 Dr. W. F. Hutchinson will continue his lively sketches of. Venezuelan scenery and travel in the coming number. Gu raco and Maracaibo were visited, and an account is given of very curious village of aboriginal lake-dwellers whose struct- ures and mode of living ,nnect the pres ent with the prehistoric aoes. i-"Our New Nay" will be described and illustrated by Lieut.. W. s. Hughes, U. s. N. From the accurate details given of the capacity and power of the new ships, the reader will be enabled to judge for himself how far they may serve in solving the problem of our naval | defence.
 Our neighbors over the border have within very few years organized and equipped q large military force, and the militia includes all dwellers in the Do minion capable of bearing arms. The particulars will be presented by J. Mac. donald Oxley in the September number. To most readers this account of the strength andteficiency of the military sys. tenn of Canada will be a surprise.
 In these days of yachting it is expe. dient to know something of the language of the sea. A paper Ey Lieut.. F. s. Basset. U. s. N., in the forthcoming number gives the curious names (witf hints at their derivation) by which sail ors designate the various parts of shiE and her rigging.

Jerry W. Sullivan, who probably ships more cattle than any other man in Ari- zona, predicts big boom Tn live stock within the next two years, passing his predictions that within that time all the evils of reckless haste in disposing of she cattle as well as 'unripe and immature stock, will become fully apparent to all in the shape of great scarcity of not only marketable, but breeding stock. Mir. Sullivan states that when the reaction does come it will not be violent one, but of such character as will ensure to it greater permanency and stability than any cattle boom heretofore. As MT. Suf- livan has spent about thirty years in the range stock business, during which time he has ranged all the way from Oregon to Arizona, and managed to pick up a handsome fortune on the road, his opinion is entitled to some consideration. -Hoof & Horn.

Destruction of Our Forests.

The agricultural department has issued a report which shows that 10000, 900 acres of forest are used yearly in this country for fuel and lumber. Fires, it is calculated, destroy about 10, 900, ,000 acres more. The forest area of the country is less than 45O,000,O0 acres. At this rate we will in less than a quarter of a century have no forests. Whatever re- lief may come in the future from a change in the fuel question the demands for timber will increase as the country increases in population. The whole thing seems to point to arboriculture on a large scale and systematically. and in no long time either,-Indianapolis News.

People Partially Unsound.

In the form of insanity generally known as moIfomania-but for which the term paranoia is now preferred-the person shows signs of mental unsoundness only on particular subjects, or under special conditions.
 Many persons who are thus partially unsound are attracted to this country from Germany and Italy, and readily pass as sane until long after their arrival, and rear families disposed to insanity. The proportion of such persons of German and Italian patronage found in our asy- lums is double that in the asylums of their ancestral country. Youth s Companion.

Log Drivers iY Maine.

The perils of 'srivermen'' in getting down the drives are but little known to the outside world, especially when there is jam, and the attempt is made to break it. When one of these big jams occurs it requires not only skill, but a great deal of daring, to start it. Often times it is marvel how those spike booted fellows, armed with their steel spike poles and cant dogs, escape with their lives. When the huge mass of logs wedges in between the banks of the river, apparently inextricable, confusion ensues. But these brave, tough men have quick eyes, and are as nimble as cats, with, perhaps, as many lives. When the jam is started and the resistless, tur- bulent waters set the wrenching and cross bound logs to spinning and plung- ing downward in tremendous roar, the agility and recklessness which they dis play in leaping from log to log. to reach the shore in safety, forms as exciting a spectacle as one would care to witness.
 Most of these log drivers are French Canadians. There has been great change of late years in the nationality of those who handle the woodman's ax, and who work on the rivers. Formerly  Yankee crews were generally employed; now foreign labor is chiefly hired iron, the provinces. There is an army of 'sP. E. I. men," as they are known, hired by the Penobscot lumbermen, who come from Prince Edward Island. There is more or less feeling shown by the Yankee rivermen toward the French Canadians who work with them, which frequently culminates in desperate fights. ''The Forks of the Kennebec has been often the scene of these bloody encounters il the early spring months when the driv ing season opens, and later on during the summer months when the ''Kanucks' come down the Canada road to hire ou to the Maine haynla,yers. Generally Canadian s'white whisky as it is called is at the bottom of these fights, whicl usually wind up with a score of '.Ka nucks'' getting their faces sadly dis figured, especially if any of the notoriou | Bear family take hand in these fisti battles.-Augusta (Me.)

To get up and see the time, or even to open the eyes needlessly, is fatiguing, therefore the clock begins over again. .''-New York Times Book Review.

Young Russian Martyrs.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 3.-One
Of the persons who have Just been
convicted of plotting against the
car is a student named Oulanoff,
the son of high Russian official.
During the trial he displayed the
highest intelligence and maintain.
ed most dignified bearing. En-
tering into a minute scientific dis
pute with FeOdorOff,, a renowned
chemist, he compelled the latter TO
acknowledge that the prisoner was
in the right and ne himself IN the
wrong. At the final sitting Oulia-
nof made brilliant speech. He
declared that neither he nor his
companions feared death.
lie could imagine nothing more
sublime than TO die in an endeavor
TO deliver the unfortunate Russian
people. Hundreds of young men
would initiate him until the car
wonld be compelled TO change his
despotic system. The prisoners,
with one exception, are all inteli-
gent, gentlemanly. and of good
families. One said that he had
intended to murder the car with a
revolver, but afterward thought
that bombs would be better
